I have the hood latch issue figured out. It won't even look like I moved it.

The last part in the front that I'm waiting on for fit-up is the aftermarket air box. It looks factory-ish and will blend in well with the van's core support cover. There's a nice little spot for it to sit and draw clean air from inside the fender. c

Just doing a size comparison, as size does matter. Since this thread is all about shiny things. You've shown me yours, here's a look at mine, ok, Mr Cummins 6.7?

First picture Performance Radiator®
All Aluminium Radiator.

2nd picture rebuilt 6.0 bored 20thou, ARP head studds
new race pistons, cranks & gaskets, etc.

3rd Picture Nations 200amp Extra Heavy duty Alternator.
Red powder coated.

Are you installing Hood Louvers?

Huh, a 6.0 psd in an E350? Back to our regular programming pluueease!

Just joking sheriffdoug What you're having done to your rig down under is truly impressive but MG is painting his masterpiece on an entirely different canvas.

I check this thread daily just to see the next ingenious fabrication solution. Keep it coming!

MG is literally inventing this as he goes. I can't even begin to fathom the amount of problems that needed to be solved along the way.

He's on a whole other levels two levels above the level above me...maybe more.

Maybe something special down the road a ways. Nothing like what has been done already.

I started down the path of making my own air box but I just didn't like how it was turning out. So to the internet I went searching for a possible solution to fit in the tight confines of the van engine compartment. I also had to find something with a few attributes that would adapt well to the space it was going in. Here's what I came up with...





I'm not a huge fan of the logo right there in front but I can fix that if it really starts to bug me. It fits pretty well in the space and the intake is in a good spot once I open up some holes in the inner fender and behind the grill. To mount it I had to take out the battery box sheetmetal and I'll have to fashion a new mount of some sort. I can make the intake piping work now down to the turbo and this doesn't interfere much with the AC lines like the last option did. Just a couple little brackets to make, send off to powder and then it's final assembly time.

Things look tight in there and yeah, some places are tight, but I find that this is easier to work on than when the 5.4L was in it.

Lookin good! Does appear to have more room in there than my van. Keep up the amazing work!

Don't you know that the aftermarket is all about cone filters?

There's a cone filter inside...

That looks slick Michael. Perhaps you could make your own MG logo'd cover with that snazzy 3d printer or yours? Nothing like having MG stamped on that one off conversion when lots of photos start floating around of the FINISHED product???

Is it a Cold Air Intake system?
